Kindred of the East: 地獄

Welcome to hell…

Kindred of the East is a horror roleplaying setting inspired by Chinese wuxia and Japanese anime. The characters are kuei-jin — damned souls who have crawled out of hell to assume a vampire-like existence in the mortal world. They gather in clans to protect the world from the Yama Kings, the rulers of hell, while trying to attain their own personal enlightenment. Despite their noble intentions, the kuei-jin are still monsters, and still doomed to commit horrors upon the world they claim to protect.

Further information about the setting can be found at the White Wolf Wiki:

Formally, one player character should belong to each of the five dharmas, but fuck that. Play what you want. Undeath is going to be hard enough without having to play your second choice of character.

The campaign will be set in Japan, because I know Japan better than I know China. (And I think several players know Japan better, too.) If I had my way, for that matter, I’d set it in the late Edo period, but I know there’s a demand for a modern setting.

The Japanese kuei-jin have their own weird organizations and traditions, more on which can be found here: Clans of the Sun.
